Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. All legs were previously cut to use the table as a coffee table. The ends of the legs have been reglued to preserve the original size. There is a visible crack to the gilding on each leg due to the restauration. It can be easily hidden by a gilder. The gilding is probably later with the usual minor chips and wears. The lacquer top is very nice even if there are some old shrinkage cracks. It is protected by a glass. Very rare and nice design. Highly recommandable.
